The 'ARTICLES' has three words, 'A', 'AN', and 'THE', that appear before a noun in a sentence.

A

"A" is a word you use when you're talking about any one thing, and it comes before words that start with a consonant sound (like "b," "c," "d").

Example: a book (any book, not a special one).

AN

"An" is a word you use when you're talking about any one thing, and it comes before words that start with a vowel sound (like "a," "e," "i," "o," "u").

Example: an apple (any apple, not a special one).

How about the word 'HOUR'?

You must always write 'AN' before the word because the H is silent and you pronounce the word as 'Our'.

THE

"The" is a word you use when you're talking about a specific thing, something special, or something that everyone knows about.

Example: the moon (everyone knows which moon you mean).
She gave the book to her friend.
I saw the dog in the park.

What about university? Should I use An or The before the word university? The correct article is 'The University'; it is because of how the word is being said, 'Yoo-niversity' not 'U-niveristy'.

Answer each sentence correctly with its suitable article.
